How do dwarf puffers do with moving?

I ask this question cautiously because I know it's probably a bad idea. Just wanted to check here first in case it isn't.

I'm setting up my 10 gallon again and I'm tempted to house a single dwarf puffer in it as it's been a long-term desire of mine. The issue is, I may have to move (about a 10 hour drive) for work in 1 year. I'm assuming that they probably don't move very well and I should just wait - but someone correct me if you know otherwise. Certainly won't do it if there's any sizable chance of it killing the fish.

I moved all my fish (including Dwarf Puffers) in new Home Depot buckets with lids, air stones, air pump, and auto inverter to run the pump.
It was about a 10 hour drive.
The temperature remained stable with the car's heater/AC system.
